After taking private lessons for a couple of years, he started to perform with the Bavarian Youth Jazz Orchestra and eventually enrolled in the jazz program of the university of performing arts in Munich. Two years later he relocated to Vienna and met his future mentor Joe Farnsworth. From there, he went to New York City to again study with Joe Farnsworth and eventually started to play with jazz greats such as Harold Mabern, Eric Alexander, Mike LeDonne & John Webber. We cover all of this and more .. Enjoy ..
